	Dr. Koop - Sepsis - Septicemia- Health Encyclopedia and Reference
		Septicemia, sometimes referred to as bacteremia, is a syndrome that results from an acute invasion of the bloodstream by certain microorganisms or their toxic products.
		Fever, chills, tachycardia (rapid heart beat), and tachypnea (rapid respirations) are common acute symptoms of septicemia.
		Reversal of septicemia or septic shock depends upon aggressive treatment of the underlying infection.

		Septicemia(*) is the 13th leading cause of death in the United States[1] and accounts for $5-$10 billion of health-care expenditures annually in the United States [2].
		Although the septicemia rate increased for all age groups, the increase was greatest (162%) for persons [greater than or equal to] 65 years of age--from 326.3 per 100,000 in 1979 to 854.7 per 100,000 by 1987.
		The percentage of 15-44-year-olds with septicemia discharges who were male increased substantially in the West (from 39.9% to 58.3%) and Northeast (from 43.6% to 57.7%), increased slightly in the North Central region (from 46.7% to 50.2%), and decreased in the South (from 47.4% to 39.4%).

	BACTERIOLOGICAL STUDIES ON FOAL SEPTICEMIA IN TURKEY
		Septicemia is confirmed by bacterial culture from the blood of sick foals and from those considered to be at high risk or specimens of internal organs obtained at necropsy (15).
		Septicemia was confirmed by isolation of bacteria from more than one organ of 27 dead foals but was unconfirmed from 11, and was also confirmed by isolation of bacteria from the blood of the live foal.

		Meningococcal septicemia is a type of blood poisoning which is caused by the same bacteria that cause the most common form of bacterial meningitis.
		Septicemia can make you very ill because it also reduces the amount of blood reaching vital organs such as the liver and kidneys.
		Meningitis and Septicemia are carried in the back of the nose and throat.The disease is commonly transmitted by inhaling the air where someone has just coughed/sneezed without covering their mouth, shaking hands with someone that did cover their mouth when they sneezed/coughed, or through kissing a carrier.

	AllRefer.com - septicemia (Pathology) - Encyclopedia
		Septicemia occurs most often in older people who have underlying disease that makes them more susceptible to the infection.
		The primary causes of septicemia are infection within the walls of the blood vessels, rapidly progressing tissue infections (osteomyelitis, cellulitis), virulent systemic disease (meningitis, typhoid), and local infections (abscess, carbuncle) that the defense mechanisms of the body are unable to contain.
		Symptoms of septicemia are fever (usually quite high), chills, low blood pressure, confusion, and rash; it often results in multiple organ failure if not treated promptly with antibiotics.

		Septicemia is a serious, rapidly progressing, life-threatening infection that can arise secondary to localized infections of the respiratory, genitourinary or gastrointestinal tract, or from the skin.
		It may precede or coincide with infections of the bone, central nervous system or other tissues; it can rapidly lead to septic shock and death, being associated with organisms such as meningococci that can lead to shock, adrenal collapse and disseminated intravascular coagulation.
		These symptoms rapidly progress to shock with decreased body temperature (hypothermia), falling blood pressure, confusion or other changes in the mental status, and clotting abnormalities evidenced by hemorrhagic lesions in the skin.
